Can You Taste The Difference Between Organic And Non Organic Food?

Filed Under (Organic) by natural health

I had to do a science fair project on if you can tell the difference in taste between organic and non organic cookies. People could taste the difference between the Oreos and Newman O’s so I was wondering if people have tasted the difference in other foods. Please don’t tell me about how you think organic food is a scam. Thanks!

Organic means chemicals not used in production like fertilization or pesticides, only “natural”. It doesn’t really have a whole lot to do with taste if you’re talking about fresh vegetables. However, if you’re talking about processed food, all natural ingredients will affect taste. But the thing is, how does the consumer really know what they are eating has been producind all naturally? there’s no way to know that no fertilizers or pesticides came in contact with foods or that in preparation all natural good were used. So someone could pay more but it might be just as healthy or not as healthy as the regular foods (i mean the food industry is made to eat, its washed/purified too). Its a matter of standards, and which brands/foods you trust

Yes, I can. The organic is distinctly more flavourful.

Organic fruit and veggies have a different taste, they taste more “real” ,then the veggies that aren’t organic, They don’t taste waxy and full of chemical aftertastes like some of the non-organic foods do. A lot of chefs now only use organic food because of the taste differences in them.

I’ve been eating organically for 2+ years now and I can tell you that yes, the food tastes better, remarkably so. Just a few examples from my diet. Before going ‘organic’ I had had to give up pizza, really anything with tomato sauce. I could not eat bananas, milk or ice cream, just to name a few things. I would get heart burn, indigestion, etc. After going organic(natural) we both can enjoy pizza again! It’s great. I’m eating organic bananas, no problems! We get raw milk so no more problems there, and can make our own ice cream, delicious! Chocolate tastes better, the cereal and breads have a more robust flavor.

Now, we are sticklers and label readers, you have to be, there are many companies out there that are unscrupulous. I DO NOT buy anything ‘organic’ in a can. They have to be kidding me!! I generally do not purchase food from publicly traded companies. (Meaning the brand name stuff) I stick with the little producers, and usually local. We also make many items folks buy in stores. Jams, jelly, cookies, peanut butter, butter…all can be made at home.

One other great thing about eating organically, you’re actually getting the nutrition your body needs out of the food(whole foods) so you eat less! What a great plus.

Again, folks have to be careful, especially shopping at the Kroger, Farmer Jacks, where ever…be selective, read labels, ask questions. Right now 60% of the food at the grocery store contains GMO’s. The American people need to do what you’re doing, study what you eat. Investigate. You’ll be glad you did.

The whole organic food thing is a gigantic mass deception. It’s akin to rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. It doesn’t do any harm but it doesn’t fix anything.

i can’t. just to let you know, i saw someone put regular eggs in a carton that says organic and sold it for 3 dollars a dozen the other day.

the biggest different is in fresh produce. I love sweet potatoes… and one day I sprang for organic garnet sweet potatoes at Shop Rite, I have never in my entire life tasted such a hearty, sweet, plump cooking potato. There is definitely a difference…

slimlady on July 16th, 2009 at 2:31 am #

definitelly i can taste it. the greatest difference is noticed on vegetables and fruits. in other food the taste is almost the same.

lizziegi on July 16th, 2009 at 2:38 am #

I can definitly taste a difference. How could you not! Organic is free of all the junk that tastes good. Preservatives, additives, etc all add flavor, organic is stripped of that. Organic is definitly an acquired taste, though I have learned to love it.

I have not found a huge difference in organic fruit, such as bananas. Though there certainly is a difference with whole grains, such as cookies, nutrition bars, etc.

only if your a hippy. nah, if i saw organic produce at the same price, i’d buy it – but taste-wise, to me it’s the same.

yes i can, organic sucks, it is ashame, because it is better for you and i would like to like it, but there is a difference. it’s not a scam it just happens to not have the flavorful fat content of the other foods.
